Okay, the gate/door that connects the front part of the map with invisibilty rockets sniper and grav lift to the back part with laser ghost/mongoose is a pain in the glutus maximus. I'm making a mongoose race track there (thats the new thing my friends and I have been doing a lot of lately). anyway, every time i save the stupid thing, the door will be shut. i've tried saving without opening it, with opening it, on all game types, and on vip (which i we use for our race settings). if anyone has any idea what i need to do, or wants to do it for me. contact me here, i uploaded it to me fileshare to: http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/FileShare.aspx?gamertag=BNASTY574
i always get confused with symmetrical and asymmetrical games, can you just tell me what i need to do?
A racetrack would be a bit hard on High Grounds. VIP multi-team is symmetrical, so the gate will be closed. I'd either give up and move to a new map, or use a grav lift. The last idea is highly unrecommended, as it's rather gimmicky and such.
I tried wrestling with a racetrack on Highground as well. The best way that I could get around it were through the broken bunker to the left, of going over on the right (near the camo spawn). Either way, make sure that you make it apparent which way the driver should go. Personally, I recommend the bunker, as there is slightly more room for a mongoose to go through.
You could have the start line next to the gate, and then people take it in turns to open the gate to start the race.
Make it like the original soccer idea for Foundry: Host can play as monitor and acts as a judge/"Start/finish line girl" by opening the door and observing.
I'm having problems with the gate as well. Infection is asymmetrical, why does it start open in infection? Man I wish you could just set it as an option.
BNasty, have the players all spawn directly beside the gate open, then have a teleporter wall right near there that leads to the mongoose spawn point.
The problem with that is that it would be extremely boring for the host. Also if the other people could still turn into monitor and fly around messing with the other people (Although there is the party leader edit only option but I seem to remember hearing that it didn't work). Also, the people want to have actual scores, not someone counting laps; people don't like having to abide by honor rules.
Just getting back to the topic of the thread, here. This is what I found out. The gate starts open in: Slayer Oddball King of the Hill Juggernaut Infection The gate starts closed in: Capture the Flag Assault Terretories VIP Forge It has nothing to do with symmetry. It starts closed in symmetrical and asymmetrical CTF and Assault. It always starts closed in Forge, regardles to the gametype Forge is set to. This has nothing to do with how it will behave in an actual game. This won't solve your racing problems, but I just made this game type to play Team Slayer with the gate closed at the start.
well, the party leader oly doesnt work because th other players can go to start and select go to edit mode.
